Thanks very much for your clearly laid out and informative note; most of
this matches my intuitive understanding of the differences but having it
elucidated backed with experience is invaluable, thanks again ... N

First thing is RSA certificate has RSA keys and DSA certificate has
Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys. In SSL, Diffie-Hellman is done for key exchange to
create in each end a common shared secret. Thereafter, the channel is secure

I'm going to back up and ask an even more basic question which appears to be
surprisingly elusive - how is a DSA key/certificate used in establishing an ssl
connection?
I understand how an RSA key/cert ssl handshake proceeds but if the DSA key is
used only for signatures, how is a secure ssl
Hi,
I will try to answer your question from the second email.
Whenever DSA method is used for authentication, it works the pretty much
same way it works during the RSA authentication.
However, DSA can not be used for key establishment. Unlike in RSA method,
RSA is commonly used for dual
